Grampians National Park

Tasmania, Australia

Atop Mt Read in Tasmania's north-west, there is a colony of rare Huon Pine trees. They have been studied and dated and are estimated to be around 10,000 years old, and therefore among the oldest on the planet! These sorts of environmental rarities and natural wonders are what makes Tasmania a unique and precious destination, its relatively untouched parks and reserves still holding the secrets of the natural world.

An episode from overlander.tv, a humorous online travel guide. Three stories in one, it shows first archival footage from the seminal Franklin River campaign, then a story on the Tasmanian Devil and finally a Port Arthur ghost tour.
